Angie Stone, Neo-Soul Singer, Dead at 63

Angie Stone, neo-soul singer and member of the pioneering all-female hip-hop group the Sequence, has died at the age of 63.

A rep for the singer told TMZ that Stone died in a car accident early Saturday morning following a concert the previous night in Montgomery, Alabama; Stone was scheduled to perform in Baltimore Saturday night, and died en route in the crash on Interstate 65 in Montgomery County, Alabama. Stone, who also co-wrote four songs for D’Angelo’s 2000 LP Voodoo in addition to tracks for Mary J. Blige and Prince protege Jill Jones, launched her own solo career in 1999 with her debut album Black Diamond, which spawned her Number One R&B hit “No More Rain (In This Cloud).” The singer collaborated with artists like Prince (2001’s “ U Make My Sun Shine “), Alicia Keys, Snoop Dogg, Betty Wright, James Ingram, and Stevie Wonder.
